A low key day 'round these parts. The bulk of the day was taken up by studying. We have a placement test on Wednesday, and we thought it wise to refresh our memory on some of our vocabulary and grammar.
Apart from that, Jordan wanted to try the western restaurant. I had a club sandwich:
Club Sandwich (总汇三明治 lit "Chief Class Sandwich"). From the western restaurant next door.
It was pretty good. I don't think they have lunch meat here, however, as the meat was some sort of carved ham and turkey/chicken. Also, it had egg on it, which may or may not be a variation I'm not familiar with. Also, it came with a glass of...
Ice Water. That's right!
...ICE WATER. With ICE! Also, I learned to ask for things with ice: 加冰. I may make it yet.
On other things I want to eat/drink news, I haven't been able to find milk. Not really, anyway. They must not drink it in the manner we do. Also, I don't have a fridge, which is kind of a problem. There are small cartons available at the markets that are labeled "Walnut Milk" or Jujube Milk," but none that just say "Milk." One of the cartons contains "Black Milk," which Jordan and I both assumed meant chocolate milk. Xiao Liu corrected us; apparently it's milk with a hint of coffee. So, you know, that's pretty OK. UPDATE: I translated the ingredient list: Fresh Cow's Milk, White Cane Sugar, Black Rice, Black Beans, Black Sesame, and Soy Protein.
Black Milk (黑牛奶) . It's milk with other ingredients as well. Pretty good.

Black milk sounds like it would be delicious.
